Phil Hellmuth Eliminated by Chino Rheem

Thomas Boivin opened the button to 16,000, Chino Rheem three-bet the small blind to 64,000, and Phil Hellmuth jammed the big blind for approximately 85,000. Boivin folded and Rheem called.
Hellmuth: [Askh]
Rheem: [tdth]
The two were flipping, and the [QhJc2s] flop kept Rheem ahead but gave Hellmuth a couple more outs. The [Qc] turn took away the Broadway outs but added some counterfeit outs, although the [5s] river bricked and Hellmuth was eliminated.
“I don’t think I’ve won a flip in a no-limit hold ’em tournament in four days… but I keep getting it in good,” Hellmuth remarked as he made his exit.
